Yeah, our school blocks geocities too. It gets very annoying when it's where your page is hosted.

Yes, that's quite nice; it succeeds in creating the moody effect I'm sure you were going for.

Not too much. I've always favored gradiants in watercolors. I still need a better paint set, though. I'm still using solid watercolors most of the time, although I've started using far better brushes.

A lot of "my style" is heavily influenced by DCS's style. I don't usually do the fur on the sides of the face like that.<br><br>If I could do gradients, mate, I'd be laughing. One of these days I'll try some "wet in wet" cos that looks cool to try.<br><br>And good materials are essential. I am still using some 99p brushes (>.<) but I'm finding tube paint a lot better than pan paint. It's very different, especially when mixing. Student grade paint is doing me fine, and I like the Not Surface, about 245gsm. I'm not a big fan of Hot Pressed.<br><br>Btw, if you're painting, I'd like a look
